• Purchase 1959 Austin Healey bugeye Sprite
• Trade Sprite on 1960 Morris Traveller woody wagon. I eventually put a Judson supercharger on this fine little car. After I sold it, someone stole it off the lot, and the Highway Patrol from Victorville called and told me to come get it. It was abandoned when it froze up. Probably the supercharger bearings burned out. You had to refill a reservoir with Marvel Mystery Oil™ every 300 miles or so.
